My issues are more basic than that---mostly not yet grokking the syntax and idioms. My first result is here: https://github.com/jmarca/elm-letterfall, https://github.com/jmarca/elm-letterfall/blob/master/src/Letterfall.elm with a demo version here: https://bl.ocks.org/jmarca/90393db9433ee8e91fd65e8836a6a3d3 Same approach of replicating a D3 example in a language, and this one I do most of the rendering in D3 because figuring out how to get a random-length slice of a randomly shuffled list was hard enough. I made use of Random.Array for the shuffling, but did not see your library.
